Who We Are

The Global Cooling Program of Berkeley Lab consists of scientists, engineers and other staff and affiliates with a wide variety of skills, seeking to better understand cooling systems and to apply our knowledge and skills to meet cooling needs affordably and in harmony with the planet. 

What We Do

The Global Cooling Program of Berkeley Lab performs global technology and decision-relevant research on cooling equipment in order to:Nihar Shah explaining AC efficiency at a Montreal Protocol meeting

  • Enhance comfort, health, energy, and economic outcomes by optimizing the performance of the cooling equipment.
  • Reduce the harmful effects of the anticipated substantial increase in cooling demand on the grid and peak load and income growth.
  • Expand access to cooling
     

We facilitate partnerships with industry, academia, and other organizations to drive innovation and enhance performance in cooling and refrigerants.
